November 4, at approximately 9:53 p.m., FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant experienced an automatic reactor shutdown. The automatic reactor shutdown
was as a result of a main turbine trip that occurred while regularly scheduled turbine testing was being performed. Nuclear power plants are built
with “defense-in-depth” safety design and construction. Every nuclear power plant has multiple back-up safety systems, including an automatic safe
shutdown mechanism that initiates in response to certain conditions or plant indications, according to Tammy Holden, Entergy communications
specialist. The FitzPatrick plant responded according to its design following the turbine trip and all plant safety systems responded as expected, she
added. “Entergy is committed to the safe and reliable operation of FitzPatrick and all its facilities. The health and safety of our employees and
the public is our number one priority. This event posed no threat to the health and safety of our employees or the public,” Holden said.The cause of
the turbine trip is currently under investigation, and plant personnel are working to identify the cause.

Nice catch. Im sure the members will be all over this. Not surprised there isnt anymore info on it at the link you provided. Not seeing anything on
the news either. Not that any mishap involving Nuclear is small, but hopefully this isnt major if that made sense

Evidently it was in response to a turbine trip and the plant shut down. Seems a built in safety designed feature.

From your source.

Look under the Description tab to see it.

Wow, 90% or so of the description of the event is basically an 'all good, it's safe, nothing can ever happen, carry on, nothing to see
here'-message.

If I had been writing this on a conspiracy site, I might had called it slightly suspicious.

AUTOMATIC REACTOR SCRAM FROM FULL POWER FOLLOWING TURBINE TRIP "The reactor was scrammed on a valid reactor protection system activation caused
by a main turbine trip. The cause of the main turbine trip is under investigation. All control rods fully inserted. All isolations and initiations
occurred as designed. High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) and Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) initiated as expected. RCIC injected into the
reactor coolant system, HPCI did not, as expected." This scram was characterized as uncomplicated and the reactor is stable in Mode 3. The plant is
in a normal post shutdown electrical lineup. All systems functioned as required. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.

Thanks for pointing out the description, I did not realise they already updated this section, they should really update the "unknowns" from the
summary then!

In regards to time and dates, I wonder why description and summary reports different date and time. The UTC-US time difference does not add up. I am
sure there is a valid explanation but I just wonder..
